The machine/product is very easy to… The machine/product is very easy to use. However, I found out that I am evidently allergic to ozone, as I developed a pretty severe rash/soreness where the mask was on my face after using the Sleep8. I replaced the bag, after seeing that the bag should only be used for about a month. Unfortunately, that didn't change the skin reaction from recurring. I would prefer to be able to use this product but cannot.

Great little machine Works as described, super easy, plus I can store it away during while not in use - unlike the competition which requires a constant night table area.

I still cannot describe the "odor"… I still cannot describe the "odor" after Sleep8 finish its cycle: it is not as the smell after rain (that one I do like), but the smell I get during and after the cycle is not pleasant (is not noxious)... Not sure if its the blue bag, the charcoal or what... I have cleaned the whole water receptacle, tube and mask, I've tried only the tube, but in all, the odor remains the same... Is it possible I am not using it correctly? Is it normal?

Much better than doing it manually! It is great to have the Sleep Apnea cleaner. Doing things manually was no fun. The operating device takes quite long to charge, but once you start using it regularly you get yourself into a routine. The company communicates well, and good customer service will help you get the subsequent bags you will need. My device broke after more than a year's use, and the company quickly replaced it.

I like the ease of use of the system I like the ease of use of the system, and would rate the product higher if the smell was not so obnoxious. After each cleaning, I have to wash everything in order to get rid of the smell. This totally defeats the purpose of using the machine which I had hoped to use at home and when traveling. After I started using the product my allergies became worse due to the strong ozone smell. If this problem could be eliminated, I would keep it. Otherwise, I have invested money in a product and an extra bag that is not useful. I wonder if there is any evidence that the smell/ozone could be harmful to someone who has respiratory allergies? I would appreciate a reply and references to support the answer. Thank you.
